Layoffs?? They are flat out firing people and paying for there silence.
This is not Barney's Kroger anymore. Barney Kroger and Don Becker are weeping in Heaven. While Rodney is laughing at all of our misery.
Management Training
What I don't understand is how they are laying off all these managers while all year long they have been putting people through the Management Training program in the Atlanta Division. Let's hire all these new ASM's who have no clue how to run a... — read more
Has anybody under 40 been laid off???
Is it just me, or does it seem Kroger is trying to get rid of people in a certain age group??? Shouldn't that be illegal???
Hiring
If Sprouts Farmers Market is in your state they are probably hiring as they are still an expanding company.
Money
To high pay for what they are doing, workers comp, unemployment and matching Social Security plus their pay. The american workers and the government have priced themselves right out of jobs. It is crazy money what you have to pay to have an employee... — read more

Why are they laying off some of our best people?
I feel so angry right now... Two longtime friends and our best employees are gone... Why? There are actual people here who we could lose without losing anything valuable in the process, and they are still here... How does that make any sense? Who... — read more

Any ideas on what the final number might be?
Store is in denial??
My managers are saying it's not going to happen? We are just making a new division and no one is losing jobs? Meanwhile everyone is getting emails of Kroger changing how things are run? We were supposed to have a huddle but everyone says it's just... — read more
This was not handled well!
Was there really no better way to handle this? People receiving calls and then having to wait for hours for the meeting full well knowing that was it? I hope this was unique to my location because if it's company-wide, Kroger management is crueler... — read more

Info on Atl Division
Anyone with any info on Atlanta Division Layoffs? I've heard managers being called for a meeting today, are they doing it in waves or all at once? Severance pay?? Any info much appreciated.
Regarding the meetings....
All the managers called for a meeting today, were let go. Most of us never received a call at all, up to this point. DMs say they are going to meet with all of us, yet everyone called has been laid off.
Ralphs So Cal
Is So Cal Ralphs being affected by these layoffs too?

Advertise your customer service
You know, with Walmart basically trying to get rid of cashiers, Kroger should advertise the fact that they still have actual people to help the customer check out.
